   "20 hours on masters and molds.
   12 hours casting parts.
   30 hours cleaning up parts and sanding (!!)
   7 hours assembling all 1000 parts
   6 hours stickering."

   And two years of your life to solve it.

   I can't imagine why anyone would want one of those... other than to screw it up forever.

   If I had it I wouldn't so much try to solve it, I'd just scramble it and put it on a shelf. It's beautiful!

   CRUEL AND UNUSUAL FUNISHMENT.

    If it only took 65 hours to create this toy, Jason Smith is a prototyping genius. I bow before skills I can only begin to imagine.

    Really nice. The thing that gets me is that the Rubik Cube was beautiful because of it's difficulty compared to it's simple design. Although these cube variations are beautiful, they look (and are!) really difficult - the Rubik cube looked easy.

    Looks like it needs some detents to ensure the segments line up easily and reliably.

    I wonder if the guy Will Smith played in The Pursuit of Happyness can create a formula to solve it?
